Configuring nginx to serve multiples subdomains on Gitlab dropplet

Question

Hello, I have set up a Gitlab dropplet which is working fine. I would like to leave gitlab on a specific subdomain and use nginx to server other websites too. I already edited gitlab to answer on that subdomain (gitlab.example.com) but I don't know how to configure nginx to point the other ones. I could not find the standard sites-availables, sites-enabled folders. Can you help me?

Hi gitlab installer is using chef recipe to provision ngnix.You can modify those recipies as is described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24090624/using-gitlabs-nginx-to-serve-another-app/

Hi Leto, I’ll do my best to help you but first I just need to know some more information. Why are you unable to use the standard sites-available/sites-enabled(sites-enabled is just system links to sites available btw) You can setup a server block like this in whatever configuration file you are using to allow another domain

server {listen 80 default_server;listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; root /usr/share/nginx/html; index index.html index.htm; server_name localhost; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } }

Hope this helps…

The GitLab one-click image uses GitLab’s “omnibus” installer. It’s designed to run in a self contained manner and installs it own libraries including Nginx under /opt. So you might be better off installing GitLab yourself on a clean droplet: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-gitlab-as-your-very-own-private-github-clone
